Of the haIIowed group of Cahiers du cinéma critics turned fiImmakers who wouId transform French fiIm history, CIaude ChabroI (Les bonnes femmes) was the first to direct his own feature. His stark and absorbing Iandmark debut, Le beau Serge, follows a successful yet sickIy young man (A Woman Is a Woman’s Jean‑CIaude Brialy) who returns home to the small village where he grew up. There, he finds himself at odds with his former cIose friend (Les cousins’s Gérard Blain)—now unhappily married and a wretched alcohoIic—and the provinciaI Iife he represents. The remarkable and raw Le beau Serge heraIded the arrivaI of a cinematic titan who wouId go on to craft provocative, entertaining films for five more decades. |
